"I joined the organisation in January 2024, and when I first joined, everybody spoke about how much of a cohesive team this is. One of our values is teamwork and professionalism. Everybody helps everybody out, and we all work together towards a common goal.

We're also a publicly funded body, and the team has showcased our other value, commitment to delivery and accountability to what we do. That's because we want to show value for money in how we deliver projects.
